cajunaggie08 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The Houston Astros bought the Sugar Land Skeeters and made them their Triple A affiliate prior to the 2021 season. Now the Astros are completely re-branding the Sugar Land team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Dammit, if they end up as the Sugar Land Astros or some BS like that...what a waste of an identity. Skeeters was pretty solid in my book. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeters was pretty solid in my book. I doubt they'll name them the Astros as having 2 Astros teams in the same metro area would get really confusing. But I suppose they could switch it to a space themed name. It seems like a very unnecessary change as Skeeters was a very good identity that fit both locally and with the quirky/silly names that many minor league clubs have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeters was pretty solid in my book. For a Brandiose brand, it was one of the better ones IMO. Given that the hostile takeover of MiLB by MLB was largely the result of brainstorming sessions by eggheads in the Astros’ front office, I expect nothing else than [insert non-Houston locale here] Astros.

But thats the problem, Sugar Land is a Houston suburb. There is no way they could be so dumb to have two teams named the Astros in the same market, right?

jgiff17 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I don’t understand this. Looks like the colors are Astro’s with light blue added into the mix. Should have kept name and just changed colors I guess That name was fan voted and I don’t think any name can be a better fit for a minor league baseball team down in These parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakfu Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I love the logo but think wacky identities belong at AA or lower. AAA should be idiosyncratic but traditional! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobrgroman Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I didn't really think skeeters needed to be changed at all but I don't hate the new name or logo either. can't wait to see what the unis and hats look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
